Dec. 24, 1863, and came to Texas with her family in the fall of 1882, locating in Collin county, where they resided until about 1890, when the family moved to Pottsboro, where they have resided continuously ever since. Mrs. Beene was the mother of eleven children, five of whom, with her husband, survive her. She had been a faithful and active member of the Baptist Church from her girlhood, and died as she had lived, an earnest, faithful Christian woman. Her many friends mourn her loss and tender their sincere sympathy to her bereaved family.  Georgetown Cemetery Susan Hawkins © 2024 Grayson County TXGenWeb |
